- Project 2
Using Dot Net 2.0 C# to create a COM class library, that exposes two web services for use in an xBase++ calling program. Data is taken from Soap/XML and placed in an Extended Systems Advantage DataBase for use by the Australian Plansys xBase based program suite.
- Project 1
Phase one, Convert PLAN’s existing data processing software from DOS – Novell using Advantage Database Server & Clipper to a Windows platform, using Advantage Database Server with xBASE++. Second Phase, Create soap (xml) server\client systems to interact with a new PHP based WEB service being developed for PLAN running on an external Linux Web Server. This will run as a service application on a Windows 2003 file server utilising https. Conversion included replacing clipper cltext library functionality with a (Com) based Rich Text File editor with conversion from cltext data to RTF and HTML. Printing of the resultant Rich Text is achieved by parsing the Rich Text Files for page-breaks. Multiple Rich Text blocks are combined to create documents that are printed or converted to html for emailing. In the parsing process for Rich Text Files, I have employed Perl’s pcre.dll which is implemented as an COM/OLE Xbase++ library. Thus required well-developed skills with Perl’s Regular Expression engine and Rich Text control words.
